“I swore I would NEVER see another mental health professional, after the last one threatened me. Dr. Kim assured me that last Dr was incorrect in her assessment and threats. Dr. Kim listened to what I had to say vs just assuming my trauma meant I needed to be on SSRS because I can’t possibly handle the stress I’ve been under. I almost wish I was not just seeing her for my ADHD and anxiety, but I know other people probably need to see her more frequently. If I wasnt already seeing a therapist weekly, I’d push to see Dr Kim weekly. Mental health is important and I’m so grateful Dr Kim is out there helping us/”

More information on payments and coverage
Because we accept insurance, we can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and still offer high-quality care. You may not have any cost related to your visit with us, depending upon your insurance plan. Most patients pay a small copay per visit, subject to any deductible or coinsurance that your health plan has. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services determines appropriate billing guidelines. These guidelines depend on the length of the visit and the complexity and severity of your diagnosis. For this reason, we need to wait until after the visit for the final determination. We then submit the claim to your insurance company. The charges are calculated based upon pre-negotiated prices with your insurance company. Your insurance company will then determine what amount, if any, is your responsibility per your insurance plan.
